GlucoBalance by Helvilab is an elegant, plant-based supplement formula designed to stabilize blood sugar and support natural metabolic processes. Carefully selected extracts such as alfalfa, olive leaf, and berberine, along with the trace element chromium, offer a combination that provides both antioxidant benefits and a regulatory effect on glucose and macronutrient metabolism. Taking just one capsule daily makes the product particularly user-friendly.

What is diabetes?

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease in which the body does not produce enough insulin (a hormone produced by the pancreas) or does not use it properly.
This leads to elevated blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia).

There are three types:
Type 1: Autoimmune disease, pancreas does not produce insulin.
Type 2: Insulin resistance + reduced insulin production, often associated with overweight and lifestyle.
Prediabetes: A precursor stage with elevated blood sugar levels, not yet manifest diabetes.

These measures help to stabilize blood sugar:

Nutrition:

- Whole grain products (oats, whole grain bread, quinoa, brown rice) → slow rise in blood sugar
- Vegetables (high in fiber, low in calories, filling)
- Legumes (lentils, beans, chickpeas) → long-lasting satiety, stable blood sugar
- Lean protein (fish, chicken, tofu, eggs) → promotes muscle growth, stabilizes blood sugar
- Healthy fats (olive oil, avocado, nuts) → delay glucose absorption
- Water & unsweetened tea → hydrates without sugar
- Spices such as cinnamon or turmeric (partly supportive of insulin sensitivity)

Lifestyle:

- Regular exercise (walks, strength training, endurance) → increases insulin sensitivity
- Weight reduction (if overweight) → reduces risk of type 2 diabetes
- Regular meals → stable energy supply
- Stress reduction & good sleep → lower cortisol, stabilize blood sugar

These factors worsen blood sugar levels and increase complications:

Nutrition:

- Sugary drinks (cola, juices, energy drinks) → rapid rise in blood sugar
- White flour products (white bread, pasta, pastries) → rapid glucose absorption
- Fatty fast food & ready meals → combination of sugar & unhealthy fats
Sweets, snacks, cakes → high sugar content, hardly any nutrients
- Excessive alcohol consumption → can cause blood sugar levels to fluctuate significantly.

Lifestyle:

- Lack of exercise → reduced glucose consumption
- Smoking → worsens blood vessels & increases the risk of complications
- Chronic stress & lack of sleep → increase blood sugar fluctuations

Key findings

Regular blood sugar monitoring is crucial.
Medications or insulin must be taken strictly according to medical instructions.
- Diet and exercise can reduce the need for medication, but they do not replace it.
